Wells Fargo trying the cheap JC Penney tactic

[Barbara]

What a shock ! But maybe not, since Wells Fargo is a San Francisco - based company.
They have a new advertisement featuring some unmentionable things.
JC Penney, a formerly rather conservative American merchandiser had undergone a radical change of management and put out an ad with an infamous woman a few years ago. This backfired, with the department store's family base protesting loudly. That CEO was dumped fairly soon afterwards due to the hole he put in the side of the company bark.
JC Penney has only slightly rebounded since, so bad was the disaster.

At least one Protestant group has taken a stand against Wells Fargo's similar brazen attempt to appeal to homosexuals. While trying to appear "cool", apparently the bank does not mind at all trampling on the values of Christians.

"[Franklin] Graham is pulling all bank accounts for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association out of Wells Fargo.

“This is one way we as Christians can speak out — we have the power of choice,” Graham wrote on his Facebook page. “Let’s just stop doing business with those who promote sin and stand against Almighty God’s laws and His standards. Maybe if enough of us do this, it will get their attention. Share this if you agree.”

All of the other banks are exactly the same way. It's not like Wells Fargo is an exceptional situation. There are not any real choices left. All of the top corporations are in the hands of the Masons, so it really makes little difference who one boycotts. All we can do is do our best to withdraw from the world as much as possible.

Indeed, Chase is one of the worst.

Oh, is that true ? Thanks, Cyprian, for adding the needed perspective here. I assumed Wells was a [bad] trailblazer in this particular quadrant.

I have been thinking that, too, that really the best is to be out in a safe area away from people entirely. Might need a generator and some smart ways of adapting. But it seems to me that we who live in cities today pay a huge PRICE for having the convenience of electricity and utilities. I began to think after a few unpleasant incidents this year with authorities that living in any urban area equals a tacit agreement to do whatever Big Brother demands. Those demands are NEVER for the highest good for a person, but verge on bullying in order to intimidate people showing a dangerous individuality into following the pack. One is pressured to conform to rigid, authoritarian regulations having no purpose in helping one but rather seem a way to achieve a communist-like boring, dull uniformity : this in modern America.

As a separate but related observation, people in the construction industry mention that new houses, no matter whether luxury or average, are built to look exactly the same these days. With the exception of a few touches here and there, even an upscale new neighborhood will look like much alike. What's behind this ? It seems to me a very deliberate push to make everyone stick with low, ugly ideals and not feel any sense of being a unique human. Thus becoming increasingly malleable to central govt. control in every area of life, a major front currently almost completed being to order every citizen to accept and praise homosexuals. It's getting to be like Communism in this country in this regard as well as other obvious ones, such as socialized 'medicine'.

Maria, I too have always had the worst feeling about Chase. I have never once contemplated opening an account there. Sure enough, much much later, I learned it's the Rockefellers' bank.

Even the name : "chase" ? It sounds predatory. Hardly reassuring to the alert customer about the safety of his finances ! Secondarily, the name connotes the draining struggle to get ahead, chasing dollars. Also programming the whole country to be willing cogs in the 'rat race' style of life typical of New York, the bank's center.

Bank of America began courting the homosexual community years ago. All the major banks are the same way. They are all in the hands of the Masons. Not just the banks, but all the major corporations are run by the Masons.

From 2011:

Bank of America to reimburse homosexual employees for extra tax costs on health care

Franklin Graham is pulling bank accounts from Wells Fargo for featuring same-sex couple in ad
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/living ... rylink=cpy

"Charlotte-based Bank of America has not yet made commercials featuring same-sex couples, but it has run same-sex ads in programs for some events as well as in LGBT publications. Would that be enough for Graham to rule out Bank of America for the accounts leaving Wells Fargo?

“I’m not going to answer that question,” Graham said.

[Barbara]

OK, I am sure you are completely right.
So B of A moved to Charlotte ? I hadn't realized that. No wonder the Charlotte Observer maintains coverage on the activities of the largest banks.Wells would be one of the top competitors to B of A.

Franklin Graham "couldn't answer that question" - ? ? What a weakling ! My - tentative - regard for his standing up against these radical moves to alter the entire fabric of Western countries' societies has crumbled.

But the question remains : where is a good place for the exiting Wells Fargo customers to relocate their accounts ?
Probably a smaller more conservative regional bank. But I would like to know whether these, too, have jumped on the devil's bandwagon in this regard.

Moving this into Politics and Social Issues.
